thereuare Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!Budget: 250$ fees & taxes includedWhat is this before fees/taxes? Have you only bid 4* thus far? Did you want to bid up to your maximum bid at the 4* level before trying for a 3.5* property?I also checked the express deals for the same dates:4* MTW: 194$4*MTE: 188$3.5* CPS 188$For help with PRICELINE EXPRESS deals we'll need to know the amenities associated with each property. However, if your game plan is to first try bidding for a lower price, then let's do that first as these may not be the hotels offered (or the price may change) once you're ready to consider one of these over bidding, so it will save us doing double work.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 When bidding 4* in NYC you have TWO re-bid zones.
